Links to articles that contain downloadable files

This is a command line tool, tested on Linux only. Its use is quite hardcore, but maybe I'll improve that later on. Just wanted to publish finally, after using it for many years.

• Shows or sets lens data in EXIF
• Best used with old manual lenses that do not set the EXIF data.
• Requires Exiv2 to manipulate EXIF!

My "large archives" c64 downloads site has been updated. At least some of the most important archives on it. That adds 10 years of new updates of The Digital Dungeon or HVSC SID collection. Please find the files here:

C64 XLFiles

And most notably, there is my "ai64_extractor", that I use to extract C64 stuff from FTP sites to make them available for download. It has reached a public repository on GitHub, so that you can create your own archives, without waiting for me to publish new versions of this tool.

Please read on for more info on these two updates.

I've added several new features to my OpenStreetMap printing tool, called render(myMap), but never mentioned it in this blog before. You can find some info in my references page or read on.

Exisitng editors for text data DjVu files are quite limited, like for example DjVuSmooth. So I've implemented a new editor in JavaScript, that allows editing both the strucutre of the text (paragraphs, lines, words,...) and the coordinates of the text boxes by simply dragging with the mouse, features like create, delete, merge are also available.

I've added some improvements to the openstretmap.hu website:

• PlanetPlanet news aggregator
• Ability to search multiple POIs (e.g. bank & atm, or when shop type does not matter, you just need some food)
• Added a name-less business card created by a professional designer
• Coordinates supported in search box

And of some minor improvements, mainly in usabilty of search box, and updated street autocomplete database.

My new "C64 XLFiles" project hosts big collections of Commodore 64 games, demos and magazines for download. Every archive contains files that are directly usable on a C64, no need for futher file conversion or extraction.

I've created some wallpapers when my FreeRunner - a fully open, Linux based phone - arrived. They may be useful until good designers start making wallpapers for Openmoko fans. Widescreen versions included.

This program can import Xaraya locale files to a database and allows editing the string translations. By exporting the results you can get the translated Xaraya locale directory and files. The program helps the translator's work with finding similar sentences' existing translations and very fast navigation between various related strings.

This Perl script is an integration of other 2 scripts, allows users to spellcheck UTF-8 encoded XML files. The script is designed to spellcheck Xaraya CMS translations, but you can use it for other UTF8-XML files too. The source code is pre-configured for checking Xaraya files (e.g. default XML node names).

ai64 allows you to convert complete directory structures containing c64 programs into IDE64 compatible copy of the whole structure. e.g. try running it on a complete copy of Digital Dungeon FTP Archive, before burning a CD for IDE64 usage. Most of the archive will be converted to .prg and .d64 files, which are very easy to use on C64! The program is licensed under GPL v3.
